Does a high end gpu limited when using a ssd

[DMG5760]

I went and compressed a raw avi 5760x1080p 8gb 2min to a 1920x1080 and on a 850 pro witch took about 5m35s wd black took about 6m5s would that mean unless you had SSDs in a raid a high end gpu would be boddlenecked and technically could have went with a lower end gpu also I was using 20gb ram wile 32gb total memory

O and bolth drives were using about 100%

In most high end setups the disk is almost always your bottleneck, especially when reading or writing data. If you went to a lowerend GPU it may take longer to actually do the compression. You could try getting a PCIe ssd vs a raid setup. Most of them offer sppeeds 3-4 times after than what you get on SATA

For that kind of use then yeah your storage can be a bottleneck.

You could set up like 4 smaller SSDs in RAID 0 and output your files there before backing them up to the HDD to solve the storage bottleneck.
